The provision of power supply is also common knowledge in this field. The present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0050] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0051] (1) By turning the steering wheel 1, the rotation of the rotating rod 10 is realized through the transmission of the transmission joint 4 and the connecting joint 9, and the front-rear displacement of the displacement rod 13 is realized through the meshing action, thereby driving the connecting plate 14 to move forward and backward. Through the rotation connection setting of the fixed column 1502 and the connecting sleeve 1503, the adjustment rod 16 connected to the vehicle rotation is driven to rotate, and the wheel 21 is driven to rotate through the fixing action of the stabilizing plate 19 and the linkage rod 20 to achieve steering. Through the setting of the motor 7, the gear fixed on the connecting rod 5 is driven to engage and drive. Through the setting of the torque sensor 6 and the electronic control unit 8, the rotation of the motor 7 is stably controlled, thereby achieving steering assistance for the tricycle, which is beneficial to improving the use effect, reducing the vibration force during steering, and improving the stability of hand operation.

[0052] (2) For a road section that is difficult to control, the movable plate 206 is pressed down and the limit plate 205 is slid downward, so that the limit plate 205 is locked with the housing 201, and at the same time, the action block 309 is moved out from the locking plate 306, and the deployment plate 302 is pushed out by the elastic action of the elastic spring 305, thereby extending the force arm of the steering wheel 1, thereby reducing the force required to turn the steering wheel 1, thereby improving the use effect of the device, and after the limit plate 205 is locked upward, the deployment plate 301 is pressed inwardly, so that the action block 309 is squeezed It is then limited by the positioning plate 306 to achieve rapid resetting of the component, thereby improving the overall convenience of use. At the same time, the lubricating liquid in the storage box 1802 is driven by the pump 1803 to pass the lubricating liquid into the adjusting rod 16 through the input pipe 1804, and the lubricating liquid is discharged to between the adjusting rod 16 and the stabilizing cylinder 17 through the setting of the liquid outlet, so that the adjusting rod 16 and the stabilizing cylinder 17 can rotate stably, reduce wear, and be beneficial to improving the steering effect, thereby improving the stability of the device, and the overall device is easy to steer and has a good use effect.
